Snowshoe Your Heart Out in Colorado
Crunch, crunch, crunch. That's the sound of your snowshoes gliding over a blanket of white stuff at the Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa. 'Shoeing melts more calories per hour than skiing downhill—511 versus 387! And with 65 miles of groomed trails (where you can also cross-country ski), you'll never do the same trek twice. Picture it: At night, you sink into an outdoor hot tub heated by underground springs (your Instagram pics of the Rockies will be amaaazing), then catch a flick at the lodge's private theater. In the a.m., there's yoga in a studio overlooking your 6,000-acre playground.
Tip from the trip: Working it at high altitudes can dehydrate. Drink two glasses of H2O for every one you'd guzzle at sea level, the resort staff advises.
Cost: $375 per room, per night. Includes breakfast, a group lesson and a daily $50 resort credit. Rates exclusive to self readers until January 30, 2013, with blackout dates; 970-726-5632

Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
Forbidden Planet International (FPI) have a range of associated Companies using various trading names including but not limited to Forbidden Planet, Forbidden Planet Home Shopping (FPHS), Sci-Fi Warehouse, Forbidden Planet Blog or Magazine, Nostalgia & Comics, Worlds Apart, Another World, FPI Graphics, FPI Back Issues, FPI Role Playing Games (RPG) and FPI Magazine.
The Forbidden Planet Websites, e-newsletters, Magazine(s) and Catalogue(s) operate independently from the Forbidden Planet Retail Stores.
FPI supply science fiction, fantasy and popular culture products primarily, but not exclusively, for Collectors, Fans, and all the delightfully offbeat humans happily subsumed by a sense of wonder in an age of cynicism.
Products, prices and promotions offered online, in print, and other literature, and in the retail stores may be different and mutually exclusive.
On the websites and from print media including catalogue(s) all orders are accepted as a request to supply.
Placing an order
Orders are placed on the system as request reservations with card payment details held by Sage Pay, or, if selected, payment details processed by Paypal.
Order acknowledgements are emailed to Customers. The order acknowledgement is not a guarantee to supply, not a contract, and it is not an invoice. Customers should always check their acknowledgement to ensure that their requirements have been entered correctly.
You must be 18 years or over to make web, email and/or catalogue purchases.
We reserve the right to accept or reject any order for any reason at our absolute discretion.
No Sales Contract is formed until dispatch of goods.
Pre-Orders and Back Orders
Forbidden Planet Home Shopping (FPHS) carries extensive stocks, even so, many items offered through the websites and in catalogue(s) are "Pre-Order", or "Back Order".
Pre-order products are those in design, the early stages of manufacture, printing or reprinting and transit. Where possible we shall indicate anticipated release, or arrival dates, (which are always subject to change). Manufacture and shipping is inherently flexible and subject to many a slip t'wix cup & lip (to coin a phrase). There is no guarantee that any anticipated release, arrival, or re-supply date(s) will be adhered to. Therefore it is mandatory for you to accept that any 30, 60, or 90 day window is subject to slippage. We shall endeavour to advise all Customers of revised availability dates, but the dissemination of information is, as always, governed by Suppliers.
Additionally, such items may also have limited production runs or be restricted in other ways.
Back Order products are items which have been in stock, have sold out, and are on re-order from the Supplier or Publisher. Back Orders are placed in good faith by FPHS and, in the main, are re-supplied to us within acceptable time frames. However, outside circumstances can intervene.
We shall always do our best to keep Customers appraised of any delay.
When products do arrive they are normally shipped out in the same sequence as orders are placed on the system. In other words, first come first served.
As all orders are placed on the system as a "request to supply", you can reserve your items safely in the knowledge that FPHS do not charge your card or bank your cheque until we have goods ready to ship. (The exception being Paypal which is a cash with order process.)
FPHS only charge cards for the actual item(s) being shipped plus postage (if applicable). Cheques are banked when one or more items are ready to ship. (We advise cheque customers who place multiple item orders to pay with two, three or four cheques so that they can be banked separately as goods arrive).
Card Security when ordering through the website
When ordering, your card details are secure. Forbidden Planet Home Shopping (FPHS) does not keep your card data. FPHS use the services of payment service provider (PSP) Sage Pay. (One of the largest such organisations in the UK). PSP's are Payment Card Industry compliant security organisations that offer fully secure facilities for the holding of Customer confidential data. At final check out on the FPHS website, when you are requested to confirm your order request, you are seamlessly transferred to Sage Pay where card details are entered once.
Sage Pay will pre-authorise the card for one penny (to prove that it is genuine) then send FPHS a secure, randomly generated access code. After the pre-auth, Sage Pay return you to the FPHS website, where you can continue shopping or log out.
Payment Process
When goods arrive and are ready for shipment, FPHS use the Sage Pay access codes to apply for release of funds, and then, only for the goods about to be dispatched (and for UK Customers, plus postage if applicable)
If your Card order is for several items shipped in different parcels over a time period, the contents of each parcel will be charged separately when ready to ship. The only deviation from this process is UK postage which is charged as a single item with the first parcel only.
When ordering using Paypal
PayPal advertises itself as the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. The service allows anyone to securely pay in any way they prefer, including through credit cards, bank accounts, buyer credit or account balances, without sharing financial information.
Customers should note that when paying by PayPal the money will be debited from your account by Paypal for the FULL amount of your order, at the time of your order, irrespective of when the goods may be ready to ship. (See Pre-order section)
The PayPal service therefore, although extremely secure, is similar to, and handled as a cash transfer. In other words, Paypal is a cash with order payment.
Product Information
We make every effort to obtain accurate product information including images, specifications and prices from our suppliers. We reserve the right to correct any errors in pricing, image, description or any other inaccuracy. We also reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order request based on any incorrect price, description or availability. Such corrections may be made even after an order has been acknowledged. If the price at which you have ordered goods is incorrect you will have the right to cancel.
There is normally no minimum or maximum order. But such may be specified or qualified in a particular promotion or offering. Some restrictions, such as, but not limited to, distribution rights and availability may override.
Some high value items are subject to a 15% non refundable deposit. These products are clearly signposted on the web site, and all Customers are requested to confirm their acceptance. Customers through Sagepay will have a 15% value debited on acceptance. Paypal Customers, because Paypal is a cash with order type payment, will have paid in full for the high value item. In accepting the 15% non refundable fee, Paypal Customers, should they subsequently cancel their order agree to have 15% of their order value withheld from refund.
Ordering (General)
When ordering on line, you can order as a guest or create an account. Guest orders will not be available for future review. Account holders can check past orders and hold items in their shopping basket for possible future purchase. NB: such items are not "reserved", they are a "wish list"
UK Credit Card customers. When items are shipped separately, cards are debited through Sage Pay only for the value of the goods shipped in each parcel. The exception is rolled up shipping. The full amount of UK Postage on your whole order request is debited with your first shipment.
All major Credit/Debit cards accepted. Access, Visa, Mastercard, Amex etc.
Ordering by mail or fax: Write up your complete order, along with our stock codes, together with your name & address (include your postcode). Give a contact telephone number (if possible) and your e mail address (if applicable). Enclose your correct payment or card details.
Note please that Pay Pal order requests are only available through the website.
Cheques will not be banked until the first available item on your order is ready to ship. We then have to bank your whole cheque. We recommend that cheque customers ordering a number of items to send in several cheques to cover their order. Which means that we can automatically stagger payments when items are shipped separately.
Cheques have to be cleared before parcels can be dispatched. Depending on the clearing banks involved, that process can take several days. Postal Orders, when used to pay for orders are treated as cash and banked immediately.
If ordering for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary etc) please let us know the date. We shall do our best to meet it, but we do have to specify that we cannot be held liable if we are unable to meet the due date.

A 44-year-old man with addresses in both New Canaan and Stamford has been charged with violating a restraining order, a felony offense, after he went to an ex-girlfriend's Weed Street house, police said.
James Dadio, pictured, who gave police addresses on Main Street in New Canaan and Alvord Lane in Stamford, had been under an order since last year that forbids him from visiting his 43-year-old ex, according to Sgt. Carol Ogrinc of the New Canaan Police Department.
At 3:08 p.m. on Feb. 4, police received a call from the ex-husband of Dadio's former girlfriend, saying that "there was a person at the home that wasn't supposed to be there," Ogrinc said.
According to police, Dadio when confronted said that his ex-girlfriend had told him that he could come over to talk.
Unrelated to this arrest, Dadio is the owner of Manero's Gourmet Alley on Elm Street, formerly Reid's Country Kitchen. He also had been co-owner and head butcher at Tuscan on Main Street in New Canaan, now closed though it had been popular during its short life and was chosen as the best Italian place in town by local Patch readers.
Ogrinc confirmed that the New Canaan address given by Dadio is also that of Tuscan on Main Street.
According to Connecticut Judicial Branch records, Dadio has been convicted of two misdemeanors following arrests in Greenwich and faces several other charges.
He pleaded guilty to a fourth-degree larceny charge in March 2006 and again to second-degree breach of peace in August 2010.
On Dec. 30, 2010, Greenwich police arrested Dadio for driving under the influence.
On Feb. 4, 2011, Greenwich police again arrested Dadio for making threatening phone calls to a business where he formerly had been a partner, Greenwich Prime Meats on Bruce Park Avenue. The business had been launched by members of the old Manero's Steakhouse on Steamboat Road in Greenwich after that venerable restaurant was shut down and razed in 2006 to make way for condominiums.
In that instance, Dadio was charged with second-degree threatening, second-degree harassment and disorderly conduct.
On May 31, 2012, New Canaan police served a warrant out of Greenwich charging Dadio with second-degree violation of condition of release. Darien police arrested him on Dec. 10, 2012 for violating a protective order.
Dadio could not be reached Monday at Manero's in New Canaan.
Following the charges from last week in New Canaan , Dadio was released on $1,000 bond and scheduled to appear Feb. 5 in state Superior Court in Norwalk.

Hey GHock! Miss you guys around here, just not the same without you all that have "graduated". Anyways, heard that Braintree and Weymouth applied for waivers this year and were denied. We played Weymouth yesterday for our opener, won 6-2. As compared to last year we've definately improved, as we lost both games to Weymouth last year. Dedham graduated their goalie and all of their D, they have an upperclassman forward switching back to D to help out. Have a solid forward first line, decent 2nd line. Not sure if they'll be enough to keep them at the top of Hergert though with Wellesley still having their strong players. Needham looks to be pretty decent again. Not sure about Norwood, Newton N.

My girl graduated, but would love to see updates here about this season. I see that AC has won 2 very insignificant games, wonder how the BIG GAME will go Wednesday. Rematch of the Div 1 title match. Hearing that the 2 powerhouse players in L and F are gone from St. M's???? If so this will be a great showing for Coach P to see what he is made of. Has anyone else heard this? L back to Medfa and not sure about F. Can AB carry the St M's team? Can AC D hold up after losing a significant player to graduation? And if St M's and AC fall off, who will be the next powerhouse?
My bets with Hingham again, thinking they will be strong enough to get thru.
Gotta say college hockey much different. They think they are prepared, but they are most def not. Top players on HS teams, not so much on the college level.

In response to Hockeymomsrule's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]IMO based on early returns , I am giving the edge to Wellesley in the BS Herget. Wellesley demolished Dedham, Walpole defeated Natick 5-3 and Norwood got by Milton 5-4. Wellesley kept Dedham to 1 goal which indicates to me that they have the defense and goaltending and it looks like they can score at will. Norwood did not have any significant losses to graduation or prep, will score like they did last year. Walpole had what could be argued were the 2 top D in D2 last year and lost one to prep school. Big big loss there and the difference between 1st place and what could be 3rd. Rounding out the Herget, Natick, then Milton, Dedham.
posted at 12/19/2012 2:33 PM EST
I think you're right GHock, barring any significant injuries or illness keeping their top players off the ice, I don't see anyone knocking off Wellesley this year. Also think Hergert as a whole is going to be stronger than Carey. Hard to judge the Fram squad right now with half the starters battling the flu or sinus infections (to the point where one was throwing up on the bench after every shift in last nights disaster)and one D out for undetermined time due to injury. Either way, things are going to be better for them this year and they should be more competitive than last.
posted at 12/20/2012 8:10 AM EST
I think the board is on life support....
Early Norwood loss to Braintree has me thinking that Herget will be Wellesley, Walpole, Norwood in that order. Saturday night Wellesley @ Walpole for early bragging rights.
posted at 12/20/2012 5:28 PM EST
Anyone know what happened to Weymouth? They had a decent squad last year but just got blasted by Wellesley 7 - 0.

In response to ghockeydad's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I don't think anything really, they had 3 pretty decent players last year and got a few wins over teams who were weaker than normal. Even we beat them 6-2 this year, where we lost to them 3-2 and 6-5 last year. Nothing different other than they had nothing else come in to help the 3 they already had and we had a pretty solid core of Freshman come in. Going to be Wellesley in Hergert and I think it's a toss up for Carey at this point. None of the Carey teams seem to be really more dominant than the others.

I'm afraid that most of those people that were driving this forum for several years are no longer following it because their kids have graduated. This site had the most high school sports postings almost from the day it started. Apparantly interest is simply not there any longer.

Interesting games coming up in the Middlesex League. Arlington/Woburn/Lexington/Reading/Winchester all play each other in the next 10 days. Can undefeated Arlington and Reading skate with Woburn? Has anyone seen them play?

I will chime in....
How bout that Duxbury Team? Clash of the two best girls public school teams in the state this Saturday. Clearly Duxbury is far and away tops (D1 and D2) but Falmouth could be right there. This is the game to watch.
I see some earlier post about Wellesley being dominating....hmmm...why dont they play Duxbury anymore...?
posted at 1/5/2013 8:35 PM EST
Wellesley is strong this year, most of their talent are upperclassmen though so it's now or never for them as they will graduate a lot this year and more next year. Two pretty talented underclassmen but I don't know that they have much coming in behind them for support over the next few years. Duxbury would be an out of league game for them, I would think of all the years, this would have been the one to go after that on their schedule. Newton North is going to struggle, weak in net with the loss of HR no longer being able to play and not much in front of what they do have in net. Reading v. Woburn could be interesting. Reading has a few talented freshman but only one senior with anything to be concerned with, I think Woburn is a bit deeper and has one of the best goalies in the state. In the end Woburn will pull off the W. Would have preferred to see Reading when we were healthy and not battling the flu and injuries as our game against them would have been a lot closer. Not saying our girls would have came out of it with a W, but it wouldn't have been the tilt it was. Played a great game against Braintree tonigh,t most of it seemingly on the PK, and came out with a 1-0 win. The Wamps are no longer undefeated in Carey. Going to come down to those two teams this year I think for Carey. Still feel Wellesley will walk away with Hergert. Dedham will probably give them a fight for it but they graduated too much to take Wellesley down I think.

Big big win for Falmouth tonight. Kudos for breaking Duxbury's streak. And congrats to the Green Dragons on a long run against top competition. Too many top ranked teams haven't proven themselves yet against the better teams. We're starting to see them lose now that they are playing some real competition.
Where's the love for Walpole in the BSC? They lost a lot, sure, but they still are a strong club, one that tied Wellesley, albeit on a controversial last minute goal. And to clarify, while Wellesley does lose a couple top seniors, they have no juniors on the roster at all, and they have strong and deep fresh and sophs, so don't write them off for next year. Finally, while they don't play Dux, they do play Falmouth over Feb break.

With the passing of New Years the high school hockey season is in full swing. Here are my thoughts on some of the top leagues and conferences so far:
Middlesex Liberty – I think this is the best league in girl's hockey. Woburn, Reading and Lexington are not only vying for a league title they are competing for a state title. Arlington will make a run in D1 and Winchester and Belmont will go a few rounds in D2 tourney.
Merrimack/Dual Large – Westford, AB and Andover are going to battle. I believe Andover was up 2-0 on Westford only to give up 3 in the 3rd and take an L. Andover then went on to beat AB last week. I would not sleep on Billerica either.
SEMGHL Coastal – Falmouth, Barnstable and Duxbury are the head of the class here. Sandwich is better and may sneak into post season.
Bay State Herget – Walpole, Wellesley will fight it out of crown but Norwood won't be far off. Milton is getting strong goaltending and is on the rise. Natick should qualify for post season and Dedham has the fire power but needs to get support in net.
Top 5 Teams in D1:
Woburn, Reading, Hingham, Lexington and Marys
Top 5 Teams in D2:
Falmouth, Duxbury, Wellesley, Walpole and Canton
Other league and conference thoughts:
GEMIHL – CAL/Northeast – Beverly-Danvers is loaded with upperclassmen and played Lexington tough in a 4-1L in the preliminary round last year. Lynn/Winthrop will push them and has post season swagger. GBL/Metro - Cambridge is tops here. They play Beverly this week so that will be a game to measure where these teams are.
SEMGHL – East – Marshfield and MV are playing well but look for 2nd year program Norwell to make some noise as well. SEMGHL – West - Canton and Westwood will go battle as they do every season. Franklin is a bit down this season. Medfield and Medway will make post season.
The Middlesex Freedom, Merrimack/Dual Small and Catholic Conf look to be 1 team races. Watertown despite the loss of some fire power can lean on EL for scoring. LS has an exceptional goaltender. Fontbonne has two freshman goalies seeing action and like Watertown lost fire power but is managing to get it elsewhere.
The Bay State Carey will be decided by Braintree and Framingham. Needham is improved and could qualify for the tourney and or finish second in the Carey if things break right.
The Catholic Central race doesn't even matter to the teams in the conference. Marys and AC are shooting for state titles. Archies has been a pleasant surprise so far. AP has the best goalie in the state.
The Central/West – is tough to call. Shrewsbury has been good in past and got off to a good start this season. They play AP so that should give a better view of what they got. Springfield Cathedral's sample size is too small to evaluate.
Hingham is an Independent and it goes without saying that they will be def one of the final 8 and probably a final 4 team this season.
Other Notes:
Hingham will be the site for the 1st Super 8 hockey tourney. It will be during Feb. break and give the top 8 teams a chance to get some good work in prior to the state tourney. The field is: Hingham, Duxbury, Arlington, AC, Woburn, Lexington, AB and Marys. Could this lead to a post season girls Super 8, maybe in a few years...
Falmouth is also hosting a late season tourney with Barnstable, Norwood and Wellesley. That sounds like a nice post season tune up.
An ALL STAR event for girls is in the making. Game would be late March with teams able to nominate 2 players. It would be a state wide event similar to the boys. Juniors and seniors would be eligible. It would possibly be played back to back with the boy's game.

GoodTime - where did you hear about the Girls All Star event? Really interesting.
Baystate Herget - I believe its Wellesley's to lose. Walpole is the only team that could upset them but I doubt it happens. Walpole eked out a tie with Wellesleybut Wellesley was missing their top D, Goss. She is easily in the discussion as one of top D in D2. Norwood doesn't have the goaltending to to keep up. They got wacked by Wellesely 8-2. Personally, I think Milton, Dedham and Natick will be lucky to make the tournament.
Baystate Carey - I'm giving the nod to Framingham over Braintree.
Big Falmouth win over Duxbury. Almost wish they hadn't won. I'm afraid this will wake Duxbury up. Hope I'm wrong.
Agree with you on the top 5 D2 but to put them in order
Walpole / Canton pickem

Someone please explain to me why there is a D1 and a D2 in girls hockey. It seems arbitrary and uncorrelated with strength of teams. I concur with Goodtime's rankings but tell me those D2 teams couldn't hang with the top D1 teams. A Super 8 approach seems a no-brainier, but maybe the MIAA's emphasis is solely on the boys.

Now that we are 25% into the season, it's pretty clear to me that we have see the preview of the D2 final last weekend in Falmouth v Duxbury. Those 2 teams are definitely the best - solid goaltending, multiple scoring from at least 2 lines and solid D. Will be interesting to see how Wellesley and Walpole match up with them. Herget will be decided at the final Wells/Walp game, Norwood just doesn't have the goaltending to keep up. Carey looks pretty weak this year but Braintree still has a decent goalie - giving them the edge.
Saw AC/Archies game and was impressed with Archies. Could be a dark horse in D2. They are very strong in net.
I too would love to see Super 8 for girls but MIAA never going to go down that path.
Good luck to all!

In response to patsoxbs's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Right on. I agree. When people put their sillyTop D1 teams and then the Top D2 teams you almost get a sense that the best teams are D1 and the rest are D2. At least thats the vibe I get. No way. As a matter of fact I would venture to guess that the majority of the top teams ARE in D2. Woburn vs. Duxbury, Falmouth, Walpole and Probably Canton (to name a few) would be a lop-sided "no contest" in favor of these "lesser" D2 teams. I think Duxbury smoked Woburn in the pre-season. And before the Woburn supporters chime in...both teams played ALL their players. I dont want to hear "Woburn was playing their JV girls, etc, etc. Both teams played all their players and Duxbury handled them easily from what I have been told. South Shore Rules...a dominating force in girls hockey!!! The rest are playing catch up.

In response to Scooter8's comment:[
[/QUOTE]There are def D2 teams that can beat the top tier D1 teams. The only purpose of the poll being split into 2 divisons is the fact that at the end of the year there are 2 separate tourneys. I thought we were past the days of the old "d2 can beat d1" and "d1 is the best." The thought is to talk about what teams have the best chance to win their respective state titles. And the Super 8 showcase at the end of the season is a chance for the public to support the concept and possibly get it into the post season. Then divisons will not mater as much.
As for the All Star game I heard from a coach. More info should be out later this month. It's going to be in Worcester late March. 2 girls max from a team and girls can only be junior or seniors. Teams also have to have coach who is member of MSHCA. Very excited to see this come together.
Glad to see a bit of life around here. Even if it took a south shore hockey supporter calling out Woburn. Lol

MIAA girls hockey should get rid of the D1 and D2 divisions and just have a Super 8 (or 6 or whatever) champion and then a champion from the rest. There is no difference in the quality of the top D1 and D2 teams. In girls hockey, one or two players can make all of the difference on a team and those key players can be at a D1 or D2 school. In the boys game, you need at least two good lines, 4 good D, and a solid goalie to compete at the Super 8 level. In MIAA girls hockey, you can get by with a lot less.
The MIAA needs to wake up and take care of this because if (when) they get audited by the Title IX people they will have a tough time showing that the girls get the same benefits as the boys.

Rizzo is every bit as good a GM as Omar Minaya.
Stephen Strasburg will make next start says Nationals GM Mike Rizzo
Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg will make his next start, General Manager Mike Rizzo told the Washington Post's Thomas Boswell. Strasburg had experienced tightness in his forearm after Monday's game against the Braves.
Forearm problems can be a precursor to elbow problems, and Strasburg underwent Tommy John surgery in 2010. The team has been extremely cautious with their 24-year-old star and caused a lot of controversy when they shut him down after 159 1/3 innings last season.
Strasburg allowed two runs in six innings against in the team's 3-2 loss to the Braves. Rizzo downplayed the forearm problems:
Strasburg's arm is "structurally perfect." He merely felt "irritation in his forearm" Monday. "No problem," said Rizzo. Will make next start—
Thomas Boswell (@ThomasBoswellWP) April 30, 2013
Strasburg irritation may have been caused by normal pre-game use of electrical stimulation on forearm. "Strong as an ox," said GM Rizzo.—

treap.py is a treap implementation for Python. A treap is a hybrid of a binary tree and a binary heap that is self-balancing and is O(nlog2(n)) for most operations, including deleting a value, inserting a value, finding the least value, and finding the greatest value. This particular treap implementation looks like a dictionary to the caller, but it also supports getting an ordered list (forward or reverse) in O(n) time. The code is available as pure Python (should run on about any Python implementation supporting generators, but was tested on CPython 2.6) or as part Python and part Cython for performance. The version with Cython should run on CPython or Unladen Swallow, but was only tested on CPython 2.6.
OrientDB is a NoSQL DBMS which can store 150,000 documents per second on common hardware. Even with a document-based database, the relationships are managed as in graph databases, with direct connections among records. You can traverse entire or parts of trees and graphs of records in a few milliseconds. It supports schema-less, schema-full, and schema-mixed modes, has a strong security profiling system based on users and roles, and supports SQL between the query languages. Thanks to the SQL layer, it's straightforward to use for people skilled in the relational world.
Orient Key/Value Server is based on the Document Database technology and is accessible as an embedded repository via Java APIs or via HTTP using a RESTful API. It uses a new algorithm called RB+Tree, derived from the Red-Black Tree to maintain tree balance, and from the B+Tree storing the links to records in pages to optimize memory consumption and loading time. Orient Key/Value Server scales out very well in a cluster with thousands of running machines: Orient will divide the load among all the nodes. Clustering, by default, works in auto-discovery mode: when a node starts, it attaches itself to the cluster if one is available. When a node goes down, the cluster automatically rebalances itself.
Dog is a Domotic OSGi Gateway. In other words, it is a software-based gateway used for controlling domotic environments in a vendor-independent way, thanks to its high-level semantic device modeling strategy and its driver architecture that allows it to support different domotic plant technologies.
SimpleTemplate is a simple template engine written in Java. You can generate formatted text from a Java bean. You can use it for generating XML files, Web sites, etc. It features simple template directives, user-selectable template directive separators, alias creation using with and set directives, support for indexing into arrays, collections, and maps, looping on an array or a collection, a simple include mechanism to reuse template files, conditional evaluation using if and ifelse, and custom list separation settings (prefix, suffix, and separators). Template files can be read from the filesystem, class path, or just a string. Support for methods, aka. sub templates.
The Hummus PDF Writer library allows you to generate PDF files. It was developed with a principal "one-off" method of generating PDF files. Adhering to this idea, it is both fast and retains a low memory signature regardless of how large the file grows. The library has a set of high level features for adding content to a PDF, including creation of pages; drawing primitives and any of the simple PDF operators for drawing content; embedding of PDF, JPEG, and TIFF images; Unicode text support with Type1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts; and defining reusable objects using XObject Forms. You can also use the library as a PDF parser. The library is very extensible. It is easy to implement more PDF features by using the lower level set of methods, which provide access to the PDF building blocks themselves. Adding a feature requires you to be familiar with the PDF formatting of that feature, but will not require you to write the basic PDF building blocks, as the library handles this.

TEXAS CITY, Texas -- A Texas City father will be holding his son closer this weekend after the child was found wandering in the middle of a street.
The 3-year old boy attended a daycare in Texas City called the Rising Star Learning Center and somehow slipped out during playtime Friday morning.
A manager at a neighboring apartment complex, where the family lives, found him wandering in the middle of FM 2004.
"It's absolutely scary," Chad Pugh said. "Someone could have hit him, someone could have taken him, and no one would have ever known."
Pugh believes his son Jasper was trying to follow the road home and is grateful the manager found him.
He said she contacted police and the daycare. She then called him when she realized the boy's father lived in her complex.
Pugh said it was the building management, not the school, who first alerted him. He hopes his story can help other parents.
"I just wanted to have known that this could happen at a daycare," he said. "I would have never thought my kid could get out."
KHOU 11 News contacted Rising Star Learning Center, but no one would comment. Police said CPS has been called and that they will look into the matter.
There were no injuries.

While the drinkers gear up for a bar crawl of St. Patty's Day proportions, not everyone is on board with that idea.
As crowds of holiday revelers make the rounds, it's kind of a "Catch 22." Some of the people who live and work near these pub crawls, they're not huge fans.
But you talk to businesses that take part in them, they're huge fans, and they say cheers to all the customers.
FOX 29's Omari Fleming chatted with local folks about this mobile drinking party and reported live Friday night from Old City.

Beauty_BrowsIntroCard_v021 of 17Beauty What Your Brows Say About You Introcard
Brooke Shields2 of 17
By Abby Gardner
God bless Brooke Shields and her thick brows. More women should own their natural shape with such confidence. "It's hard to bash the 'Brooke Shields brow'," says Sarah Uslan, co-founder of the Luxe Beauty Team. "However, if her brows were a little bit more arched, yet still full, her face would look more lifted and awake."
Brooke Shields Flashback3 of 17
"Now this is the classic Brooke Shields brow that I always refer to when speaking about the ideal thicker and fuller brow," says Sarah. This look has been my personal shape inspiration for as long as I can remember. I love that Brooke stuck to her guns as a young actress and a grown woman.
Michelle Obama4 of 17
So many things about our First Lady's style scream intelligence and self-assuredness. But doesn't that arch in her brow say simply, "You don't want to mess with me"? Here's guessing Sasha, Malia and Barack have seen its power once or twice.
Pamela Anderson5 of 17
Pam has always rocked the very thin brow that's a staple of pin-up girls past and present. It's not for everyone, yet I can't imagine her any other way. Brow guru Anastasia thinks they give off a "fearless" vibe. And Pam is nothing if not that.
Kim Kardashian6 of 17
Like all things Kardashian, Kim's brows are perfect and calculated. Anastasia says this look is "secure and confident, but still sexy. This would be a power brow." She's the kind of girl that never has a hair out of place ... on her head or her face.
Fergie7 of 17
Personally, these are a little too thin for my liking. And Sarah agrees: "I would have her grow them out to allow the head of the brow to be a bit fuller and the arch should be a little lower and softer." On the other hand, they totally make the statement that this woman knows what she likes and doesn't care how dramatic that might be.
Jennifer Connelly8 of 17
Thick brows do not mean ungroomed brows, as evidenced here by Jennifer. They suit her casual glamour and demeanor perfectly.
Jennifer Connelly Flashback9 of 17
Obviously, young Miss Connelly learned some of those grooming lessons over the years. It's never too late to start, ladies. Tweezers can work magic.
Megan Fox10 of 17
These brows are all starlet, all the way. Anastasia describes them as "sexy and feminine" — and that they are. But they also take a lot of maintenance, and this type of girl is one who doesn't mind spending that kind of time on her appearance.
Jennifer Lopez11 of 17
Fierce. That's really all that comes to mind when I see J. Lo's brows. They suit her face shape perfectly and the color is perfectly complementary to her hair. This is one detail-oriented woman.
Jennifer Lopez Flashback12 of 17
Still spot-on with the color, but I'm glad to see that Jennifer let those brows grow a bit since the early days of her career. To be fair, the stenciled brow was a popular trend in the '90s.
Camilla Belle13 of 17
Here's a girl who goes against the grain, not afraid to have a unique, thicker shape to her brows when most of her young Hollywood peers are over-tweezing their little hearts outs. Here's to an independent spirit.
Halle Berry14 of 17
That perfect arch makes me feel like there's something mysterious and a little mischievous lurking there ... in the best way. Halle, these brows are darn near perfect.
Halle Berry Flashback15 of 17
I think we have a winner for Most Improved Brows. Don't you agree? Not that these are bad, but you can see what a difference some sculpting can do for the face.
Gwyneth Paltrow16 of 17
"This is a case of camouflage brow," says Sarah. "She needs a tint. Brows frame the face, so if they're barely there, your best features can become lost." Though on the flip side, they also make for a very natural, unconcerned beauty. Anastasia thinks they show a softness and elegance.
Eva Mendes17 of 17
"The perfect brow," declares Sarah. And I can't disagree. They make an open, warm, inviting statement just with their shape alone.

Istanbul - Swim from Asia to Europe
James Bond swings by the continental border in Istanbul in the upcoming Skyfall. No doubt he engages in some explosion-filled shenanigans and possibly a chase or two in the former City of the Emperors. We can guarantee, however, that he won't swim across the Bosporus from Asia to Europe.But you can. Normally a swim between two continents takes years of planning, a pilot boat, sponsors and a certain lack of common sense. Here, all it takes is a formal assessment of your swimming ability, a modest entry fee and a healthy amount of chutzpah. A couple of miles later, you will be the proud owner of some pretty authoritative bragging rights. Parties begin and end with the phrase "I swam between two continents." Your friends will be jealous, and other men will yield to your obvious physical superiority.
Bond's acts of derring-do may provide him with a rush; swimming across one of the world's most historic and busiest waterways can provide you with yours.

2008 Hummer H3 Trims
|Reviews (5)
|Pictures (27)
Hummers were designed for off-roading, and the 2008 Hummer H3 Adventure, though the smallest Hummer on the market, is the SUV best equipped for this activity. Equipped with a 3.5-liter, 242-hp DOHC I5 that gets 242 lb-ft of torque, and a choice of standard 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, the Adventure comes with four-wheel drive with four high and low range settings. Unlike the other H3s, it comes standard with a 4:1 electronic transfer case, larger off-road tires, and a locking rear differential. This is in addition to the skid plates and nine inches of ground clearance that pave the way for the 2008 H3 Adventure to tackle unpaved byways.
4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, traction and stability control, a tire monitor, automatic headlights, foglights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and dual front airbags are also include. Side curtain head airbags are new this year. Inside the four-seater, you get cruise control, full power features, intermittent front and rear wipers, OnStar, a 6-CD changer with seven speakers, security system, compass and temp display, front power outlets, and keyless entry. The cargo area holds up to 56 cubic feet, and a standard roof rack adds more space. A trailer hitch can be added to tow 4500 pounds. Other options include a sunroof, power front seats, navigation system, and chrome accents. The Adventure is basically an option package itself that can be combined with the Luxury package.

Brand new this year is the high-testosterone 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha, with a stronger 5.3-liter, 300-hp V8 that produces 320 lb-ft of torque. The new engine boosts two ratings to 6000 pounds. Full-time four-wheel drive is accompanied by a locking center differential, revised rack and pinion steering, four high and low range gearing settings, traction and stability control, 4-wheel ABS brakes, electronic brakeforce distribution, and 16-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. Other safety equipment includes dual front and side curtain airbags, a tire monitor, automatic headlights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and foglights. The truck suspension (front independent and rear live axle), skid plates, and nine inches of ground clearance add to the off-road capability.
Much like the H3X, the 2008 H3 Alpha has heated leather seats, a 6-CD changer, 8-way power front seats, satellite radio, full power features, keyless entry, intermittent front and rear wipers, and OnStar. It doesn't have the standard tubular running boards, but does come with a roof rack. A lightbar is optional. The Alpha adds a universal remote to the standard features and a chrome grille. The cargo area expand from 29 to 56 cubic feet and comes with tie-down. A trailer hitch is optional. Other options include a rearview camera, sunroof, navigation system, a body-colored grille, and an off-road suspension package, which includes a stiffer suspension, off-road tires, and a locking rear differential.

There are no major changes to the 2008 Hummer H3 Base model, a mid-sized four-wheel drive SUV packing a 3.7-liter, 242-hp DOHC I5 engine and choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The four-wheel drive features four settings ranging from high to low gear ranges and a locking center differential. Nine inches of ground clearance, skid plates, 16-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and a truck-like suspension make this SUV a tough and true off-roader. ABS brakes, traction and stability control, dual front airbags, electronic brake assist, foglights, automatic headlights, daytime running lights, dusk-sensing headlights, and a tire monitor are standard safety features.
The 2008 H3 Base seats four in two rows, with split-folding rear seats that expand the 29 cubic foot cargo area to 56 cubic feet. A roof rack and tie-downs are standard, and a trailer hitch can be added. A rooftop lightbar is also optional. Standard equipment includes full power features, cruise control, a CD player, intermittent wipers, temperature display and a compass, OnStar, keyless entry, and cupholders in front and back. Options available separately or in packages include heated leather seats, power front seats, satellite radio, a sunroof, a CD changer, chrome accents, and an off-road package that beefs up the suspension, tires, and adds a locking rear differential.

The 2008 Hummer H3X adds a lot more luxury features to the more manageable four-wheel drive SUV. It shares the same 242-hp, 3.5-liter DOHC I5 that puts out 242 lb-ft of torque, and comes with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, but adds larger 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires. The full-time 4WD also features low-range gearing with four settings, a locking center differential, and is joined with skid plates, 4-wheel ABS brakes, traction and stability control, and dual front airbags for safety and confident handling. Automatic headlights, dusk-sensing headlights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, tire monitor, and foglights are also standard. The 2008 H3X is not rated for crash test safety.
Inside, the 2006 H3X adds heated leather seats with 8-way power adjustments up front. Also included are a 6-CD changer and 7-speaker sound system, satellite radio, and leather trim. This is in addition to full power features, intermittent front and rear wipers, cruise control, a compass and temperature display, OnStar, remote entry, power outlets and cupholders, and 60/40 split-folding rear seats. The cargo area expands to 56 cubic feet and features tie-downs and a light. A roof rack is also standard. A new option this year is a rearview camera, joining such available features as a sunroof, navigation system, and a trailer hitch for towing up to 4500 pounds.

Basically a trim package, the 2008 Hummer H3 Luxury adds upscale features to the already well-equipped base model. In addition to power features, cruise control, intermittent front and rear wipers, a 6-CD player with seven Monsoon speakers, a temperature display and compass, and Onstar, the Luxury package offers heated leather seats and 8-way power front seats. Other Luxury features include a cargo cover, in addition to the tie-downs in the 29 cubic foot cargo area, expandable to 56 cubic feet once the rear seats are folded down. Chrome features prominently on the exterior of the 2008 H3 Luxury.
Engine power in the full-time 4WD H3 Luxury comes from a 3.5-liter, 242-hp DOHC I5 and choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto tran. A front independent and rear live axle suspension rides on 16-inch chrome wheels with all-terrain tires, and safety equipment includes traction and stability control, 4-wheel disc and ABS brakes, dual front airbags, automatic headlights, foglights, dusk-sensing headlights, and a tire monitor.

In late 2011, the organization Mercy for Animals released a video shot inside a North Carolina turkey factory farm owned by Butterball. The video shows acts of animal cruelty and neglect—in it, frightened turkeys are hit with what appear to be metal rods, violently kicked, thrown hard against the side of a truck and dragged across the floor. The video also shows birds suffering with bloody open wounds, broken bones and diseased eyes.
As a result of this critical video evidence, five Butterball employees have been charged with felony and misdemeanor animal cruelty. But if big agribusiness had its way, the person charged would have been the investigator who captured and reported the abuse.
In the last few years, the farm industry has been driving the introduction of "ag-gag" bills in state legislatures across the country. The purpose of these bills is to criminalize acts related to investigating the day-to-day activities of industrial farms, including the recording, possession or distribution of photos, video and/or audio at a farm. Such investigations have previously formed the basis of animal cruelty prosecutions and spurred reforms to protect the safety of our food supply.
"Ag-gag" or "whistleblower suppression" bills take many forms. What they all have in common is they threaten not only to cover up horrific animal abuse and food safety problems, but also other illegal or unethical behavior including environmental and labor violations. Animals deserve to be protected, and the public has a right to know how its food is produced.
It is important to let our state legislators know that we do not support the passage of ag-gag bills or any other legislation that would allow animal abuse to be covered up. Many highly respected national organizations representing a range of public interests, including the ASPCA, have signed a statement of opposition to proposed ag-gag legislation.

It seems like almost every day a new list of the 10 (or 5, or 14) best foods to eat comes out. These are often referred to as "superfoods." The next thing you know, people are basing their diets around these 5 (or 10 or so) foods. Is this a good thing?
I do not think so.
First, when I look at most of these lists, I see many foods that I would never recommend anyone eat or eat myself. Often they contain fish (usually salmon), dairy products (usually yogurt), alcohol (usually wine), oil (usually olive oil), meat (usually chicken or grass-fed wild game), and cocoa (usually in the form of chocolate), All are foods I would not consume myself, or recommend to those trying to follow an optimal lifestyle.
Second, I do not like lists that focus on specific foods, as that takes the focus off of food groups and variety. Variety within foods and food groups is an important issue not only for pleasure, but also for nutrient adquacy
TODAY! 11:00 am (US eastern time) Dr. Robert Butler: "The Longevity Revolution" (Public Affairs) Guest host: Katty Kay 88.5 FM An expert on aging examines the remarkable transformation of human life expectancy. He explains the benefits and challenges an older population presents.
This should be an interesting program. It will probably focus more on the social, economic and policy issues around our aging population and their impact and needs, then on diet. I have met Dr Butler on many occasions and co-presented with him. He is a fan, advocate and follower of a low fat, plant based diet (though no vegan). He lead a weekly walking group in NYC every Saturday so if you are in NY, you can join in for the walk. In 1975, Dr. Butler became the founding director of the National Institute on Aging, of the National Institutes of Health, where he remained until 1982. In 1982 he founded the Department of Geriatrics and Adult Development at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, the first department of geriatrics in a U.S. medical school, where he served as chairman and Brookdale Professor until 1995. In 1995 he became president and CEO of the International Longevity Center–USA, a policy research and education center, while continuing as professor of geriatrics at Mount Sinai.
At the National Healh Associations international conference last summer, Dr Frank Sabbatino mentioned a report done by Information Resources, that appeared in The Wall Street Journal Almanac. The report listed the 50 top largest product categories in food stores by sales dollars. So, in other words, which products do we spend the most money on.
While I wasn't able to write down the results Dr Sabbatino mentioned at the time, I did want to eventually find the original report. I thought this would be important information to have as I already report on studies that show food consumption based on what people say they eat, food consumption based on restaurant sales, and food availability data. This new information would be one more way to see what American really eat and spend their money on.
Well, I found the original article and the results were very sad but not shocking.
They say, "Success Leaves Clues". If you want to be succesful at something, then find people who are already successful at it, study them, and see what they do and find the things that they all have in common. These common denominators will be key factors to your same success.
We oftn hear stories of long lived populations around the world and even read about them in best selling diet books. But upon closer examination, many of them tend to be nothing more than folklore and exaggerated stories. However, there are documented long lived populations that have been well studied.
The highest life expectancies on the planet are found on the remote Japanese island of Okinawa, in the Californian town of Loma Linda and in the mountains of Sardinia, Italy. A group of scientists have dedicated their lives to finding out what it is these places have in common for several decades.

How To Live To Be 101
In September of 2001, shortly after the attacks of 9/11, I spoke to an Earthsave group on Long Island, New York. At the time, I said that while what happened in NYC to the Twin Towers was a travesty and atrocity, there was a bigger travesty going on within American that is killing more people and more dangerous to the future of Americans than any terrorist attack ever would. I talked about the epidemic of obesity and the problem with misleading lables. Soon after, during an interview on Orlando TV and later at the North American Vegetarian Summer Conference, I called food labels and packaged processed foods, "The Weapons of Mass Destruction." Now, a global conference on obesity agrees yet this issue has barely received any attention in the current Presidential campaigns and debates.
An estimated 388 million people will die from chronic disease worldwide over the next 10 years, according to World Health Organisation figures quoted by the alliance. Like terrorism, some passing health threats get major government attention and media coverage, while heart and lung disease, diabetes and cancer account for 60 percent of the world's deaths. And, it is these preventable chronic diseases that will break the bank of the health care systems and economies of many countries.
Trying to lose weight? New research shows that including whole grains in your diet as part of your strategy to lose weight may be particularly heart healthy.
In a study of obese adults at risk of heart disease, those who cut their calories and increased their whole-grain intake lost more belly fat and lowered their blood levels of CRP than those who included more refined grains in their diet. Fat that accumulates around the belly is the most damaging to health. CRP, or C-reactive protein, is a marker inflammation in blood vessels, and both excess belly fat and CRP are linked to heart attack and stroke.
Dr. Penny Kris-Etherton, the senior researcher of the study, and her colleagues at Pennsylvania State University published their findings in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Dr Kris-Etherton said,
We hear a lot about the protective and beneficial components of foods and how important they are for us. These components include antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, fiber and isoflavones, to name a few. We also know there are certain dietary components that are harmful. These include, but not limited to, saturated fats and cholesterol.
Many people ingest supplements thinking this is the easiest way to increase their intake of these nutrients and ensure nutritional adequacy. Yet, plant foods are one of the richest sources of these protective components and increasing the amount of plant foods, increases the amount of these nutrients. Plant foods are also very low in saturated fats and cholesterol so by consuming more natural occuring plant foods, we can limit our intake of these harmful components
A recent study published in the Journal of the American Dietitic Association looked at the what happens to these protective and harmful component when the subjects were put on a very-low-fat (10%) vegan diet.
A few months ago I discussed how a supermarket chain, Hannaford Brothers, self rated the products in their stores with a 3 star rating system. The rating system awarded products 1, 2, or 3 stars based on the amount of fiber, vitamins, minerals, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium. Of the over 28,000 products analyzed, 24% got either 1, 2 or 3 stars. In other words, 76% of the products they carried, could not qualify for even 1 star!!
Considering that in the produce section, 94% of the products passed, that means the average for the rest of the store was even lower than the 24%. And, if you consider that the 24% included products that got either 1, 2 or 3 stars, how many actually were the healthiest and would have qulified to be awarded all 3 stars?
While you may not beleive this.....
If you live in the great state of Mississippi and you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, you may be denied service at restaurants soon.
There is a bill working its way through the Mississippi House of Representatives now that would require restaurants to refuse to serve patrons who are obese. The bill would require eateries to keep track of customers BMI's and have scales at the doors. The states Department of Health would be responsible for enforcing compliance, and would revoke business permits for those dining establishments that violated the legislation.
I was forwarded an email today featuring the "words best peanut butter" that has been "100 years in the making".
These peanut butters are made without any hydrogenated oils or trans fats which are frequently found in many traditional store bought brands. However, these new peanut butters are now made with "palm fruit oil". I have to admit, that sounds pretty healthy. However, don't be fooled. Palm fruit oil is another name for palm oil, a highly saturated tropical oil.
I first saw palm fruit oil listed as an ingredient a year or so ago in some products made by Newmans Organics.
Concerns about childhood obesity and the marketing of junk foods to children are growing. The vast majority of foods marketed to children by Nickeledeon, and its parent company Viacom, are high in fat, saturated and trans fats, salt, or sugars, and few are fruits, vegetables, or whole grains.
As the number-one provider of entertainment for children, Nickelodeon's marketing undermines parental efforts to feed their children a healthful diet. There are wide discrepancies between what foods parents tell their children are healthful and what Nickelodeon markets as desirable. In their attempts to feed their children healthfully, many parents find it difficult to compete with Nickelodeon's state-of-the-art market research, music, animation, and attractive characters such as Sponge-Bob SquarePants. Viacom should establish strong nutrition standards and apply them to its full range of marketing to children.
Viacom needs to hear a loud and clear message from parents and others concerned about child health: stop using SpongeBob SquarePants and other popular Viacom characters and media to market junk food to kids.
Please take a moment to urge Viacom to establish strong nutrition standards for which foods and beverages it will (and won't) market to children, including advertising on Nickelodeon channels, in Nickelodeon magazines, on Nickelodeon Internet sites, and through product placement in movies, and the licensing of Nick and other Viacom characters that appeal to children on food packages. Also, please pass this alert along to friends and family.

However, a study published in the British Medical Journal back in 1999, looked at this phenomenon and gave several reasons for this apparent paradox. I reviewed the article at the time and wrote a newsletter on it. If you haven't read my newsletter on this topic yet, you can read it here .
Now, a new study by Brian Wansinck, PhD discovers another missing piece to this apparent paradox.
Greece has among the highest rates of childhood obesity in Europe, at more than 30 percent, while the level for adults is also near the top of Europe's list — a problem considered to have emerged since the early 1990s.A University of Athens study of 312 fifth-graders in Greece's northern Ioannina region found 29.4 and 11.8 percent of boys were overweight and obese, while the figure for girls was 39.0 and 7.5 percent.In their study published this month, the researchers reported that "Furthermore, body mass index and blood pressure were positively related to frequency of fast food meals ... but negatively to leisure time physical activity.""Things have changed in Greece," said Maria Hassapidou, secretary general of the Hellenic MedicalAssociation for Obesity. "People have gone toward a Westernized diet."
According to a report presented at the annual American Heart Association meeting in Chicago on Sunday. Children with risk factors for heart disease, including high cholesterol and diabetes, are showing signs of narrowing and hardening of the arteries, conditions normally associated with adults. Researchers found that children at risk already show signs of heart disease, including arterial wall thickness and decreased flexibility of blood vessels.
The study pulled data from studies that included 3,630 children, comparing the healthy versus those with cardiovascular risk factors. In 12 of 15 studies examined, children with risk factors were more likely to have increased thickness in the arterial walls, which could lead to heart attacks in adulthood, the report said.
The percentage of overweight young people in the United States has roughly tripled since 1980 to about 18 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report's lead author, Sanaz Piran, a resident at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada said that testing for children should include regular blood lipid and glucose level testing
However, to me, the most shocking statement, was that they recommended that earlier treatment could include more aggressive use of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.
What ever happened to eating right and exercising which could prevent up to 90% of the heart disease, Type II diabetes and obesity.
Many of you enjoy the pleasure of dining out in restaurants. Regardless of whether it is part of travel, business, or to just relax or socialize.... it something many of you enjoy. You can eat out successfully, if you are aware of the problems and issues you face in a restaurant. One of the problems is that it is easy to over eat. A new study has found that eating out may encourage binge eating.
The study published in the Western Journal of Nursing Research was done on women which included both binge-eaters and dieters, found that both groups of women ate out frequently -- and downed between 200 and 300 extra calories a day in the process. One-third of their bingeing "episodes" over the two-week study occurred in a restaurant, according to findings. And, this was inspite of the fact, that these women ate only about 1/4 of their meals in fast-food places and usually skipped desserts, both of which are usually blamed for contributing to the obesity epidemic. Not only did they eat more calories, they also ate about 10 to 16 extra grams of fat, on the days when they dined out.
While binge-eating is often thought of as a solitary habit, the environment of a restaurant with all the food cues (armoa, sight, presentation, etc) at restaurants can trigger a binge-eating episode. So, if you are eating out, order healthy, and be aware of the triggers that may cause you to overindulge.

Well, you have all heard it by now... PROOF that drinking wine is good for you. It's all over the news, and the media. Obese mice who were giving resveratrol did not suffer the consequensces of obesity they should be the obese mice who didnt get the resveratrol did.
Really? Well, don't rush out and start buying up red wine or resveratrol yet. The mice were fed a large dose of resveratrol, 24 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. Red wine has about 1.5 to 3 milligrams of resveratrol per liter, so a 150-lb person would need to drink 750 to 1,500 bottles of red wine a day to get such a dose. Well, if that didnt extend their life, they would be so drunk, they wouldn't really care. :)
Many supplements have about 20 mgs. The amount used in the study was the equivalent of giving a 150 lb man 1636 mgs which would be about 80 pills a day.
MY advice... relax... don't run out and buy some red wine or some resveratrol pills yet. The jury is still out... way out.. as there are no longterm studies on humans yet and so we dont know about the side effects or other implications.
Amazing... people won't use Splenda (not that I am recommending it) as they say there are no longterm studies in humans but will run out and start drinking wine and taking resveratrol after some small studies in mice.
Me? I am going to keep eating my favorite foods... fresh fruits and veggies.. and plenty of red grapes, the natural and healthy source of resveratrol... and also have an abundance of all the other vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals that are good for me.
Jeff :)
Neil Young sang a song called Forever Young. And, wouldn't we all want to stay that way. But, the way things are going, today's kids wont even have a chance. The obesity epidemic is already taking its toll on them. A recent study from Germany found that today s obese 14 year olds, already have hardening of the arteries on the outside, and thickening of the arteries on the inside. The kids ranged in age from 11 to 16, with an average age of 14. None got even a half hour of exercise per week.
However, there is hope. When the kids were put on an intensive 6 month program of exercise, they were able to undo the damage. They lost weight, lowered their cholesterol, improved their blood lipids and reduced their blood pressure.
The study's lead researcher, Andreas Aleander Meyer, MD said "We think that 90 minutes of exercise, three times per week, is the minimum children need to reduce their [heart disease] risk." The study's findings appear in the Nov. 7 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
SOURCES: Meyer, A. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Nov. 7, 2006; vol 9: pp 1865-1870. News release, American College of Cardiology.
I am glad to see all the recent news about the danger of Trans Fats in foods. And, the attention it is getting from many food companies and restaurants in their attempts to address the problem. Lately, NYC has been in the news as they are proposing a ban of Trans Fat. However, have you seen the ads and stories? Most all of them are about foods like fried chicken, french fries, and fried potatoes. They are now going to be made with trans fat free fats (can you say that 3x fast). But, WHOOPIE DO!! Removing the Trans Fat from food is a good thing. But, foods like fried chicken, french fries and fried potatoes have a lot more wrong with them then just trans fat. Fried foods are not health foods. Nor does frying them in a "better" (sic) oil, make them "healthier". The ads make it seem like we can all now go out and enjoy our fried foods and not worry as they will be trans fat free. It reminds me when potato chips were advertised as being "cholesterol free". As if a cholesterol free potato chip was healthy. Fried foods are not healthy, with or without the trans fat in them. Sure, removing trans fat is a good thing, but a trans fat free fried food is not a health food. Don't be fooled. Avoid them at all costs.

A Message from the 2014 Campaign Chair
When I was asked to serve as the 2014 Campaign Chair, so many thoughts ran through my mind. My
parents, Sam and Shirlene Isabella raised their five children in an environment of "giving back"; that
we are all responsible for one another, and we should help whenever possible. My involvement with
the United Way spans many years; serving as the United Way's campaign chair seemed like a natural
Meeting the 2014 campaign goal means a great deal to many people throughout Harrison County.
More than 19,000 lives were touched by a United Way supported program in 2012; that's nearly 30%
of our population. It is very likely someone you know was one of those lives touched. Reaching our
2014 campaign goal means programs for children, services that provide support and services that meet
critical needs will continue.
There are many good things happening in our community; yet there are challenges as well. Realizing our
United Way objectives may seem daunting. However, I truly believe that with the nearly 70, 000 people
in Harrison County pitching-in, we will be successful. If everyone gives a little, it can help so much. No
donation of funds, time, or effort is too small. Please consider doing what you can do to assist us in
reaching our goal. Give a little, Help a lot.

|We agree, Wicket is a cool framework... but walking up to the president and asking for $100k to develop, support, extend a feature "Because it's cool" is the same thing as macing him and asking him for the money :)
At the end of the day decisions are based on user demand. It's also a lot easier to sell management on the idea if there is an existing plugin that can be used as the seed to the effort or get an idea of how users would want the functionality to work. You'd be surprised how many people ask for "XYZ support" and have no idea what they really mean, then when you probe them, they'll say something like "I mean autocomplete for my taglibs"... and you have to point out that the feature is already there and they were just using it wrong or something like that.
So that being said, when you guys say "Wicket support" what do you mean specifically? You already have the visual page designer support for the xhtml pages. Autocomplete and validation for that, all the Java editing support and debugging AND deployment support with hotsyncing. (I've worked on a wicket project in MyEclipse before, and I honestly didn't feel like I was missing anything major).
I agree that some wizards here or there that create the necessary Page Java/XHTML files would be handy, but I can't think of any show-stopping problems at the moment.
Ideas? Not pie-in-the-sky ideas, but more immediate-need-ideas?
